Nesting / David Almond. - [miejsce nieznane] : Iron Press : Legimi, 2013.
David Almond is now known around the world as the author of the novels Skellig, Kit's Wilderness and The Savage. His first two books – Sleepless Nights (1985) and A Kind of Heaven (1997) – were published by Iron Press, a selection of which appears in Nesting alongside two previously unpublished tales. The stories draw deeply from the Tyneside estate of Almond's childhood, exploring the themes that would inform his later work, and displaying all the rhythm, lyricism and drive for which he is acclaimed today. "A master storyteller." The Independent "There is nobody quite like Almond writing in adults' or children's fiction today. A writer of visionary, Blakean intensity." The Times "David Almond's books are strange, unsettling wild things. They are, like all great literature, beyond classification." The Guardian David Almond was born in Newcastle upon Tyne. His many awards include the Whitbread Children's Book Award (twice), the Carnegie Medal and the Hans Christian Andersen Award. My Name is Nina, the prequel to Skellig, was published in 2010. His books have been translated into over 40 languages, and adapted for both stage and screen. He now lives in Northumberland. This book is also available as a eBook. Buy it from Amazon here.

Shortlisted for the 2013 William Trevor / Elizabeth Bowen International Short Story Award. Best known for her novels, Kitty Fitzgerald is also an accomplished short-story writer. Miranda's Shadow, her debut full collection, brings together a series of provocative, richly conceived stories that share the same dark, fabulous drama that saw her novel Pigtopia (Faber, 2006) garner such grand acclaim. Just what is Alice Noonan's secret? And who is the strange wino with the voice of an angel? And why does nobody go in or out of the Faulkners' house? These are tales of temptation, suspicion and murder – from savage fairies to the photographer who saw too much. "A writer of stylistic daring who cuts her own furrow." The Scotsman Kitty Fitzgerald was born in Ireland. Her short story 'The Bones of St Ignatius' won the Notes from the Underground / Latitude Festival Short Story Competition in 2009. Her fourth novel, Pigtopia, was published by Faber in 2006, and has been translated into more than twenty languages. She is the editor of the Iron Press anthology Root: New Stories by North-East Writers, published in February 2013. Four of her plays have been broadcast on BBC Radio 4. She lives in Northumberland. This book is also available as a eBook. Buy it from Amazon here.

Root is a collection of short stories which re-affirm the North-East's status as a vibrant area for new writing. The subjects of the 13 stories on show here range from the domestic – family relationships, gardening, bullying, adoption and loss – to the plain bizarre: a circus bearded lady, a woman who morphs into Elvis, and an insight into what God wears to work. The writers featured in Root include Avril Joy, Fiona Cooper, Amanda Baker and Rob Walton. Kitty Fitzgerald was born in Ireland, and now lives in Northumberland. A poet, playwright and novelist, her latest novel is Pigtopia (Faber, 2006), critically acclaimed in the Independent and the Scotsman and a finalist in the Barnes & Noble Discover Awards in the US in 2006. She has edited two anthologies of fiction for Iron Press: Iron Women: New Stories by Women (1990) and Biting Back: New Fiction from the North (2001). In 2009 her story 'The Bones of St Ignatious' won the Latitude Festival / Notes from the Underground short-story competition. This book is also available as a eBook. Buy it from Amazon here.

This is a highly readable short book; a political, ecological and cultural fable as a young girl and her father on a small island are confronted with the reality and cruelty of global market forces when the local well and water supply are annexed. For support they call upon the mythical powers of the manatee, a creature who we learn is the girl's mother. The book is illustrated by Easington based artist Nicola Balfour whose artwork was on display at the IRON in the Soul Festival, where The Water Thief had its official launch. Kitty Fitzgerald has written plays for stage and radio, and has published four novels, including Pigtopia (Faber), which has been translated into 27 languages. IRON Press also published her short story collection Miranda's Shadow.

Millie & Bird / Avril Joy. - [miejsce nieznane] : Iron Press : Legimi, 2015.
This collection explores the world of the Costa Prize winning story Millie and Bird: a northern landscape of fragile lives bound by the invisible threads of place. The stories in this haunting collection have appeared in literary journals and on prize shortlists with Millie and Bird winning the 2012 Costa Short Story prize. A soldier flees the enemy, a woman buries a pig, a girl goes in search of her father - these are stories of northern lives, of what is lost and found, and of how we survive. A prize winning collection: these are the people who live in Paradise, their lives fragile, caught like sheep's wool on wire, each with its own unique story and secret heart.

Cold Iron: / Peter Mortimer. - [miejsce nieznane] : Iron Press : Legimi, 2017.
A collection of seventeen ghost tales, whittled down from a total of almost 200 submitted from writers both established and unknown, bring a selection both paying homage to the tradition of the ghost story and placing it firmly in the context of our own times. Thus, ghosts appear on football terraces, from cancer wards, on the floor of TV shows, on the late night service bus, over a Sunday dinner and at a supermarket checkout. These terrifying tales pay homage to the traditions of the genre, but tackle peculiarly 21st Century topics.

When Kafka Met Einstein is the first full collection from Scottish poet James Knox Whittet. The poems combine the playful and the intellectual, moving easily between Nietzsche and the Teletubbies. Brought up on the island of Islay, some of Knox Whittet's poetry is inspired by the landscapes and history of Scottish islands, while elsewhere he is at Newport Pagnell Service Station at 3am, or writing about Iris Murdoch's Alzheimer's. There is also a poem about the little-known fact that Hitler attended the same school as Wittgenstein. This book is also available as an ebook: buy it from Amazon here. James Knox Whittet was born and brought up on the Hebridean island of Islay, where his father was head gardener at a small castle. His poems have won the George Crabbe Memorial Award three times. His first poetry pamphlet, A Brief History Of Devotion, was published by Hawthorn Press in 2003; his second, Seven Poems for Engraved Fishermen, was shortlisted for the Callum MacDonald Award from the National Library of Scotland (2004). He has previously edited two acclaimed anthologies for Iron Press: 100 Island Poems of Great Britain and Ireland (2005) and Writers on Islands (2008); the latter was nominated by the Scotsman as one of the Books of the Year. He now lives in Norfolk.
